Gosh Darn Compuserve "Inforamation Manager" is an Information Mangler! Anyway the message I left that CSERVE so rudly un entered was in regards to my Amiga 2000 with IVS Trump Card & ST-296N (seagate) drive. The Amiga tries to mount the drive before the hard drive is finished with its Power On Self Tests.. I get a error and that is all their is to it.. How can I error trap my startup file so that when the drive wont mount it waits say 5 seconds and tries again?

Alan, If it's an autoboot controller, not much you can do but wait till it fails, and then warm-start (CTL-Amiga-Amiga). If it's not an autoboot controller, add a WAIT 5 SECS (or 10 SECS) to your startup-sequence right BEFORE the BindDrivers command. Don
